Assistant simulation use male voice

I am a newbie creating a service with Dialogflow. Under Service Settings gear wheel there is an option called Speech. I have chosen a male voice (en-US-Wavenet-A).

When I click "See how it works in Google Assistant" on the right and run the simulation on my Google Home device it does not use the male voice. It uses a female voice. How do I make the simulation use the voice that I have specified?

The "Speech" setting (which is only enabled if you have beta features turned on) is only valid for some of the integrations in Dialogflow. Specifically, if you're using the V2 API directly (ie - you're sending audio using the Detect Intent API) or if you're using the telephony integration.

If you just plan to use Dialogflow for your Action on the Google Assistant - you shouldn't be making any changes in this section. These only apply to telephony and the API. And if you're developing for telephony or the API, then you shouldn't be testing with the Google Assistant simulator.

If you want to set the voice for an Action, you need to use the Actions console under the "Invocation" setting. The speech settings in Dialogflow don't apply to Actions with the Assistant.
